Markus Zusak Quotes

Have faith, Ed, all right?’ I search the coffee mug, but there’s none in there Picture Quote #1

Why me?’ I ask God. God says nothing. I laugh and the stars watch. It’s good to be alive Picture Quote #1

Personally, I like a chocolate-covered sky. Dark, dark chocolate. People say it suits me. I do, however, try to enjoy every color I see - the whole spectrum. A billion or so flavors, none of them quite the same, and a sky to slowly suck on. It takes the edge off the stress. It helps me relax Picture Quote #1

You’ll have days of complete lack of faith in your abilities. But you have to keep coming back. That’s when you know you’re a writer - when you take the failures and appear at the desk again, over and over again Picture Quote #1

I’m not one of these ‘the characters write themselves; the story just fell out of me’ kind of writers. Wish it was like that Picture Quote #1

Living in Sydney, I’ve taken the chance to start surfing again. One of my best memories of growing up is catching my first proper wave and surfing across it and my brother cheering at me from the shore Picture Quote #1

I don’t write poetry or short stories. I don’t like to write articles usually. I tend to really only want to be focused on writing novels. It’s one of the real advantages I’ve had over the years. I’ve only been good at one thing. It helps to be limited Picture Quote #1

I certainly wasn’t born with creative writing. Maybe there’s a certain amount of learning and then it’s up to the person. I think in the end it’s your favourite books that are the best teachers. That’s the way I’ve learned the most, by far Picture Quote #1

I actually feel quite self-indulgent at the moment, telling you all about me, me, me.(...) On the other hand, you’re a human -you should understand self obsession Picture Quote #1

All four of us were young and undaunted and our smiles were so strong that it made me smile even then on the couch, with a kind of loss Picture Quote #1

For some reason, dying men always ask the question they know the answer to. perhaps it’s so they can die being right Picture Quote #1

...one opportunity leads directly to another, just as risk leads to more risk, life to more life, and death to more death Picture Quote #1

Our footsteps run, and I don’t want them to end. I want to run and laugh and feel like this forever. I want to avoid any awkward moment when the realness of reality sticks its fork into our flesh, leaving us standing there, together. I want to stay here, in this moment, and never go to other places, where we don’t know what to say or what to do Picture Quote #1

He’s most likely robbing the bank as a paycheck on the world for winning the ugliness prize at his local fete three years running Picture Quote #1

The book thief has struck for the first time Â” the beginning of an illustrious career Picture Quote #1

The beauty of my work is that my sets cost nothing. That’s what I love about being a writer of novels Picture Quote #1

If you can’t imagine it, think clumsy silence. Think bits and pieces of floating despair. And drowning in a train Picture Quote #1

People die of broken hearts. They have heart attacks. And it’s the heart that hurts most when things go wrong and fall apart Picture Quote #1

So many people chased after me in that time, calling my name, asking me to take them with me. Then there was the small percentage who called me casually over and whispered with their tightend voices Picture Quote #1

It is early, early morning. It’s that time when it’s still dark but you know the day is coming. Blue is bleeding through black. Stars are dying Picture Quote #1

...and the night is so deep and dark that I wonder if the sun will ever come up Picture Quote #1

A DEFINITION NOT FOUNDIN THE DICTIONARYNot leaving: an act of trust and love,often deciphered by children Picture Quote #1

We expressed love for this dog by ... knowing without showing that we cared for him Picture Quote #1

The thing is, I don’t even hate cops. To tell you the truth, I actually feel a little sorry for them Picture Quote #1

She didn’t see him watching as he played, having no idea that Hans Hubermann’s accordion was a story. In the times ahead, that story would arrive at 33 Himmel Street in the early hours of morning, wearing ruffled shoulders and a shivering jacket. It would carry a suitcase, a book, and two questions. A story. Story after story. Story within story Picture Quote #1

Five hundred souls. I carried them in my fingers, like suitcases. Or I’d throw them over my shoulder. It was only the the children I carried in my arms Picture Quote #1

No one else could carry close to forty-five thousand people in such a short amount of time. Not in a million human years Picture Quote #1

I procrastinate in spades. In my defence, I also try to have all other distractions solved before I can concentrate on writing. My small theory is that to write for three hours, you need to feel like you have three days. To write for three days, you need to feel like you’ve got three weeks, and so on Picture Quote #1

The commitment had disappeared, and although he still watched the imagined glory of stealing, she could see now he was not believing. He was trying to believe it, and that’s never a good sign Picture Quote #1

She didn’t dare to look up, but she could feel their frightened eyes hanging onto her as she hauled the words in and breathed them out. A voice played the notes inside her. This, it said, is your accordion Picture Quote #1
